Make some drawing on maps

[deathguy 0]

I think this would be very usefull for MP missions and even for SP, behing able to take the mousse and draw a route or anything else that could help the planning before and while in the mission

this could help a lot for teamwork since everyone would know what to do, we could set up small squad and tell them they're exact route to take and what to do once arrived at one point of the mission/map

it could be as simple as how it is to draw in Paint for exemple, would also be usefull to be able to change the size of the brush (3-5 sizes) and especially the color

if the game is not COOP, then it would be needed that the other team is not able to see the drawing of the others, but we could make some drawings for everyone to see, for exemple, you are into the "Global channel", everyone can see what you draw and only your team would see the drawing when you are in the "Side channel"

this is pretty much only an "eye candy stuff", but I would use it also in SP, but to think of it, it could be something really usefull if the game go like this : you get into a campaign, your commanders give you a map and you must accomplish your objectives with that map, wich is the only one you will have during the whole campaign, wich would be transfert from one mission to another and would keep all the drawing you had done, drawing that are indications on targets and other things like that, it could be use as a reference of some sort also where you could take your notes (or have a notepad to do that), with the ability to erase what you have done

could be usefull to spot ennemies location, and for exemple, call an artillery strike on a location on the map

hope this give you some ideas

You can already put markers on maps that only your side can see, or can be global: so its not vital, but being able to draw might be handy sometimes.

yes but its limited, you cant really do much with it, if it was like deathguy said... like paint then that would be much better, but also be able to rotate the markers, currently the arrow is pretty useless ingame as it cant be pointed (atleast not that im aware of) and so is always pointing up, also to be able to warp (ie turn the straight arrow into a curve to indicate going around something or flanking)
